Look forward to the EASP-FISS 2024 conference in Kyoto 13-14 June. More than 300 scholars around the world will participate this year. Jiwei Qian boyung welfareasia.org/archives/737

EASP committee members are working around the clock to prepare for the meeting. #EASP is a dynamic academic community that support scholars around the world to conduct research on the dynamic social policy scene in East Asia. Thanks to all the volunteers!

Yasuhiro Kamimura is my hero because he is the only scholar I know who theorises concepts and reports them in presentations using swearwords 😆 #EASP #Kyoto

Someone, my high school friend, then DM me.. said: "Decent" is ideal. But nothing wrong with "Bullshit" as long as it feeds my family 🤣

Excellent EASP-FISS 2024 event. Beautiful venue, well organised and a wide range of papers. Interestingly housing policy has a big come back in EASP this year.

I was surprised when my paper on the topic of process tracing, causal mechanisms, and policy reform was selected as the #BestPhDStudentPaper at the 20th Annual East Asia Social Policy (EASP) Annual Conference in Kyoto..It feels like a big gift for my birthday in mid-Jun! :))
